Vacation watch? What to take...?

So, my family and I are heading to Mexico in January for a week at Club Med. Sun, sand and chlorine will be all over what ever watch I decide to bring along. Here are my options for a "vacation watch":

Rolex Submariner
Breitling Super Avenger
Breitling for Bentley Motors

Now, I am leaning towards the Sub. Mostly because it has the brushed finish.

Any thoughts? What do you guys take?

While I am not a Sub junkie like many with your choice there is no other choice.
Sub wins hands down!

If you are stying in the compound, take the sub.
If you are leaving the compound, take the one you don't mind having stolen at gunpoint! Viva la Mexico! Come to think of it, you still have to travel back and forth the club med. Take a Seiko black monster.

What you feel comfortable with. I took my Black Monster with me when went last
July. If you worry about it, you will not enjoy your vacation.
